Fairly crisp golden and peach coloured body with a thinnish, relatively fast-dying tan head. Aroma of grass, light grain, a dose of fruits and some very smooth and non-bitter floral hops - nice! Light to Medium-bodied; Strong citrus flavours at first with a dash of floral, grassy and herbal notes, but the fruit and citrus notes are by far the strongest, showing some light apricot and stone fruit notes, but very easy-drinking, fruit-centric and more sweet than hoppy/bitter. Aftertaste shows a light bitterness from the funky hops and softer yeast, but the fruit and sweetness come through at the end, with perhaps a bit more floral and grassy flavour at the end, but very nice and robust throughout. Overall, a smooth and enticing beer that shows a lot of character and a hoppy, but fruit-centric IPA with a proper balance and robust profile. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Joe Canal's in Lawrenceville, New Jersey, on 22-June-2019 for US$2,99 sampled on 13-July-2019 at home in Washington.

Poured from 16oz can thanks Rob Bergin hazy golden pour with a thin white head. Aromas of light citrus soap floral hops and some pine. Taste is light grain citrus and a balanced lingering bitterness. Not too bad.
